Do you also have issues when setting the ram up manually?

Well I bought another set that will be here tomorrow. I have an RMA issued from Corsair. I will use the new ones while sending the others for exchange so my system stays up. If the new ones run properly, I'm hoping to have 32 gig total when I get the exchange set back. 

Well the new set changed nothing, so I'm pretty sure the ones I mailed off today are not bad. I called EVGA tech support and talked to a David. He asked the usual questions and suggested a bios update, which I informed him I already have the latest. So he took down the part number of the ram and put me on hold. When he returned he said the Corsair ram that was tested with the board was the 4 stick kit and not the 2 stick kit I bought; that ram was not even out at that time. He said no further testing for compatible ram will be done.  It's done only at the time the board is released. I find it unbelievable that a memory controller can address four separate memory devices faster than just two. If it is able to address a pair at a time in parallel, then maybe it could be faster. I will get the original set back in a week and try all 4 and see what happens.
 
On another note: I relaxed the timings a bit 16-16-16 and volts at 3.55 and it booted at 2400. Still a long ways from 3000, but progress.

So the XMP reads incorrectly on these chips. I am back to manually setting timings. I cannot find where to set tRP? Looking at Eleet I don't see it listed either, yet i see it in CPUz.

I have been playing with settings and I can tell you tRDC & tRP are tied together n the bios. That's not right. EVGA needs to fix this problem. I only dropped tRCD here to 16 and tRP followed without me setting anything else.

Well I may not be at 3000 speed, but running 14-14-14-34 @ 2400 not too shabby. Also I lowered the voltage, not raise it.

thanks for the updated information, it should help the MB team

So does this mean I can wait for an answer in this thread, or do I have to wait for the next bios update?

I still cant get my memory to work beyond the auto setting no matter what I try. I'm RMA'ing it soon, but I'm afraid it might actually be the board. 

What memory are you using?
